00:44 - ApothecaryI never saw the appeal of Pallbearer. Ok music, but not worth the enormous praise they've been getting by some. Didn't ever impress me much on album and when I saw them live with Deafheaven I wasn't really won over either

Additional infoThe album was recorded in Stage One Studio in Germany with producer Andy Classen and will be available as a limited-edition digipack including a re-recorded version of the classic Krisiun song "Black Force Domain" as a bonus track, as a 180-gram gatefold vinyl and as a digital download.

From time to time albums come along such as The Great Execution to test the faith, or provoke reflection as to what you are actually looking for in your music. Judging from history it would be fair to assume that anyone slotting a Krisiun album into their playlist would be craving a healthy dose of straight-forward, mindless death metal blasting. For the three brother's lengthy history together in this band, Krisiun have only had one gear; fast. Now three years since the band's last album, Krisiun have developed another gear; mid-pace.

I love this album. Already played it 20x more than the new Vader, Megadeth, or Autopsy (for example). I love the precision, brutality, sound, and aggression. Krisiun at it's finest, IMO, and one of my favorites of 2011.

Really very good work in the production, the sound achieved is awesome, together with the obvious talent of these brothers (my god, this drumer is a monster =)). In general the album is quite solid with very good songs, but i love specially The Sword Of Orion.
